OFFICE PRACTICE — Miss Hopp checks Carol Mikolajczyk’s and Toni Banaski’s shorthand with the book while the advanced short- hand class types letters from dictation. Business courses provided attractive training for future business leaders. The wide range of courses offered in this field were taught by qualified business teachers. Typing is a business subject that would most likely be of use sometime in the life of the student. Some teachers insisted that term papers be typed. This is true in college as well as in high school. Typing w ' ould also be of use in other subjects. Personal typing was favored by many college bound students. Personal typing gave enough train- ing for school use also. Shorthand was a must for those students entertaining prospects of secretarial careers. Shorthand could also lighten the note taking load at college. Notehand would also be an asset to the college student. This was a one semester course which shortened and simplified shorthand. Bookkeeping was also a practical course to add to a schedule. There is also a need for neat, accurate records and budgets. Office practice brought to the student a knowledge of office machines. General Business is a subject that is useful to everyone. It educates the student in the basic principles of business. Business courses stressed the drive for speed and accuracy which is so important in today’s business world. Dedicated, qualified leaders are always needed in this field. Business law and Business English are essential courses for a student planning to enter Business College. Business English is offered first semester and Business law is offered the second. Expansive Knowledge Expressed for Future Business SHORTHAND — Miss Todd demonstrates, to her office practice class, the round element in the new typewriters which replaced the ound keys in the older modeled machines. 18
